A Meet-Up with Ayush in Utrecht, NL

For those of you who have followed this journey, you may remember that Astrid and I have a fellow photo-blogger from our Shutterchance blog who just happens to fly over to the Netherlands from time to time for work. He's from India but lives and works in Singapore for OCÉ, a Canon printer company, with a branch office in Venlo, NL.

That's Ayush. We first met up with him in February, 2016, in Venlo. Then a month later, in March, he visited us here in Gorinchem. He wasn't sure he'd be called back to the Netherlands but...lo and behold...he's here now again for almost a year.

So, yes, we jumped on the opportunity and met up with each other in Utrecht this past Saturday...150 km by train for him and 43 km by bus for us.

Both the bus and train terminals are at the same location, with our arrivals 10 minutes apart at 11 a.m.

It was like we picked up from where we last left off!

And we couldn't have picked a better day.

From the train station we walked into town...past one of my favorite scenes of the city...

This was a great day and with Ayush it is always a joy. We had the fortune of being blessed with the perfect weather and not too many people around. What a great memory is added the many we already have. Ayush is indeed a very gentle man. I know his parents are proud of him Thank you for this post, Ginnie. IHVJ.

If you and Mark ever have the idea to come visit the Netherlands, Cherry, PLEASE let us know and you will be shown around. We would love it. Is that even a possibility??? If so, maybe we can talk about it in September.

And so it is that as you follow my journey here, you will be "in soul" with what makes me tick.
